I haven't examined this closely, so with the caveat that I am simply re-posting a story as reported....

(Reuters) - The Baltimore police investigation into the death of a black man from injuries sustained in police custody fails to support some charges filed by the city prosecutor, CNN reported on Thursday.

Citing officials briefed on the separate probes by prosecutor Marilyn Mosby and police into the death of Freddie Gray, the television news network said the lack of support for charges from the police findings could allow lawyers representing the officers to undercut the prosecution.

Gray, 25, sustained spinal injuries after being arrested, and his death on April 19 sparked protests and a day of arson and looting in the largely African American city.

Mosby charged six officers on Friday with counts ranging from false imprisonment to manslaughter and second-degree murder. She made her announcement hours after the state medical examiner ruled the death a homicide and a day after police turned over their findings about Gray's arrest.

So Wait , If the Lad is Resisting, and Police used Force to secure him, I guess there would still be rioting for Police Brutality or worse...........

A now win situation, Maybe the Lad should have Stopped Resisting , sat like a gentleman , Or better yet maybe if he obeyed the Laws of civilized men and women , he would be alive today.....

His actions earned him his situation, no matter how anyone wants to pretend it didn't......

The boy wasn't secured inside the police truck, that is a fact. The police are responsible for their prisoners safety, no differently than prison guards and excuses for why this boy wasn't buckled into his seat were that he tried to hit the police... There are no excuses for the damage which was done to the boy, not a single excuse.

If he was so totally out of control, that four grown ass men could not pin him to the ground or the inside of the police vehicle and buckle him in, then those police need to visit the gym's weights for some serious muscle building.

A prisoner died in a brutal manner while in police custody, someone is responsible and must pay the price for the death.

@VA: Your choice of words gave me visions of a Klan (superior) mentality and as far as when was the last time the Klan burned down anything there are different ways to destroy and intimidate people.

What difference does it make?

The question was asked why we are talking about Baltimore. So I did. The response was to try to talk about the KKK for reasons unknown.
